The power of personalization is no secret to marketers today. Today's consumers have come to expect—if not demand—laser-like precision in the messages that brands are delivering to them.
Unfortunately, message personalization is often used to refer to tactics such as putting a customer's name in the subject line of an email or adjusting the send time to the user's location.
Personalization has become a buzzword in marketing, but in most cases what's being used is easily captured demographic and geographic data:
True personalization is about so much more. It's about understanding the behavior of your customers, then tailoring your messaging around that behavior.
Let's take an example. Say your product is a dating website. You know that if someone doesn't upload his photo, he stands a very poor chance of generating romantic inquiries. Crafting an email around getting people to take that one particular step of uploading a photo is a very good idea. Messaging personalization really comes to life when you use such real-time behavioral data.
Targeting your messages to your customer's behavior might be harder than slapping a "Hey $ FNAME" to an email before it heads out the door, but get it right… and you'll be well on your way to a one-on-one relationship with each consumer that leads to long-term loyalty.
Here's my best-practice advice to getting behavior-based messaging right.
1. Decide which behaviors warrant a message
Not all behaviors are created equal. It's up to you to figure out what behaviors the user takes (or doesn't take) that are worthy of sending a message. To again use the dating website example from earlier, the behavior in question could be creating a profile or sending five messages.
If you're unsure what these important actions look like, start by defining your ideal end state: What does a successful customer look like? What steps do they need to complete before they can be successful? Those are the actions you need to encourage in your customers
2. Prioritize the behaviors
Just because a message you send is personal doesn't mean it's of value to your customers.
For example, let's say you've just signed up for that cool new productivity app on Product Hunt, invited your first teammate, created your first to-do list, and uploaded your first file all in the space of 30 minutes. And like a configuration of falling dominoes, a series of messages hits your inbox in a predetermined order until they run out—and you unsubscribe.
Does it make sense to attack your customer's inbox with messages for every single action the customer takes? Of course it doesn't.
To make sure your messages are relevant and timely, have a clear priority for your behavior-based messages. Perhaps customers will receive a welcome email, but you'll leave them alone for the next few days if they're making good progress.
In general, I recommend leaving at least two days between each message to avoid overwhelming your users.
3. Understand the customer's entire lifecycle
Having data around the actions that people take in relation to your product is among the most powerful kind of information you can have. But it tells only one part of the story. To deliver meaningful one-to-one personalization at scale, you need to use the many context signals at your disposal.
Let's say you own a collaboration app and a customer has taken one of your product's most important actions: completed his first project. A perfectly adequate message to send here would be "Congratulations on setting up your first project—keep it up." But you can do better.
Ask yourself: What else do we know about this customer?
- Has he opened previous messages?
- Has he visited the knowledge base before?
- What size company is he from?
- Has he opted out of marketing communications?
The above are but a handful of signals that, along with usage data, can help us deliver messages that are laser-focused in their accuracy. For example, if you're speaking to a high-value customer who has contacted customer support several times already this month, your message will have to reflect that.
* * *
Personalizing your messaging correctly is at the core of a sound—and scalable—customer-engagement strategy. The idea of a "spray and pray" messaging strategy is ancient history, whether you're a startup just hitting your stride or a large company swimming in inbound inquiries.
The good news is that once you've properly got to grips with behavior-based messaging, sitting down to write the perfect message becomes much easier.

Cialis is one of the best medications currently available for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED), but it is also used for managing other conditions like pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). PAH is also a rare disorder that some children develop, which is life-threatening but still manageable. Left untreated, the condition can eventually lead to cardiac failure and possibly death. Cialis, already approved for treating PAH in adults, was studied for its efficacy in managing this condition in children. Read on to see how children with pulmonary blood pressure can benefit from taking Cialis.
How does Cialis work to treat blood pressure in children?
Cialis, a PDE5 inhibitor, improves the flow of blood by relaxing the muscles in the walls of constricted blood vessels. This is turn help to ease the blood pressure and brings it down. The efficacy of Cialis in adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension is well-known and the drug is not usually prescribed for children. However, experimental studies suggest that the Tadalafil medication has the potential to improve the pulmonary blood pressure symptoms in children as well. Furthermore, Cialis increases the exercise capacity in children. As yet, Cialis is yet to be approved by the FDA for use in children with PAH as more detailed studies are required.
Is it safe to use Cialis in children with blood pressure disorder?
There are instances where doctors have been prescribing Cialis in pediatric use. Unapproved or off-label use of Cialis in children should be done with a lot of caution. This is because the drug can increase the risk of side effects to higher levels than when used in adults. Children are also easily susceptible to other health conditions in their formative years. Adults using Cialis can experience rare side effects like vision loss and changes in hearing. Children can easily develop the condition known as priapism, wherein the penis becomes erect and does not go down. This in turn can lead to damages to the penis. Lower dosage strengths of Cialis are recommended when administering the medication to children so that the risk of side effects is reduced. If using Cialis for children with this rare blood pressure condition, it should be done only under the supervision of the healthcare provider at all times. There are many precautions regarding the safety of Cialis, like potential interaction with nitrate drugs, and only the doctor would be able to ensure that the drug is taken safely.
Where to buy Cialis?
Cialis for ED, PAH or BPH is best purchased from an online pharmacy as it is cheaper than obtaining Cialis online USA from a brick-and-mortar drugstore. This also saves you the trouble of visiting the local store and facing any embarrassment when others get to know what medication you are buying. Cialis online pharmacies that are highly reputed make buying this ED drug more affordable, without any compromise on quality, and ensure that the drug is delivered damage-free to one's home.

About Us
Mother Of Invention
In 2010, a California mom broke her leg, causing her to wear a fiberglass cast for six weeks. She quickly became keenly aware of the daily challenges wearing an uncomfortable cast can cause. It not only affected her, but her entire family. Outside dirt was constantly dragged into the home on her cast. Her husband and kids were getting scratched by the cast's rough edges when they were near her. Her own skin was getting scratches on her uninjured leg. To complicate her frustration, she began to notice scratches on her flooring and snags on her furniture, bed sheets and clothing. The final straw came on the day she stepped out of her car onto a piece of freshly discarded chewing gum. The rough texture of the cast material latched onto the gum, making a sticky, unsanitary mess.
As his wife scraped and picked the gooey gum from the bottom of the cast, her husband came to the realization that a slip-on cast cover would be the solution. Once he began to ruminate on the idea, he realized a "cast protector" would actually solve a lot of problems: no more cast scratches, no more snags on their furniture and less dirt embedded in the grooves of the cast to track indoors. He also thought it made sense to have one cover to wear outside the home and another clean one just for sleeping. Eventually, an even better idea came to mind. What if there were a cast cover that could protect your toes from dirt and weather and keep them warm, yet provide the versatility to vent your toes when it got too hot?
A Star Is Born
Enter: The Cast Cover™ with the patent-pending Versa-Toe Flip™. This unique cast protector is designed to make living with a cast easier. Easy to apply and easy to remove, The Cast Cover™ features durable four-way stretch material that conforms to a range of dimensions and is available in a variety of sizes, colors and patterns. What's more, the versatile, built-in toe cap can be closed to protect skin from sun, wind and dirt, or opened to allow toes to breathe.
Proving the adage, "necessity is the mother of invention," one mother's need prompted RD Concepts, Incorporated to create The Cast Cover™. The Cast Cover™ provides hygienic protection and flexible comfort to those who have to live with — or around anyone with — a cast.

Many people are familiar with the embroidery samplers that were very popular and common during the 19th and 20th centuries, done by schoolgirls nearly everywhere. The orderly bands of letters and numbers with neat motifs and careful placement of names and dates to mark the occaision. Samplers have, however been found much earlier than that, dating to the 14th or 15th century. (V&A http://www.vam.ac.uk/content/articles/h/a-history-of-samplers/) Earlier samplers are less orderly, spot samplers rather than band samplers, with chunks of embroidery of all kinds, often tossed on wherever there is space. Multicolour threads are quite common, probably using up threads on hand, rather than purchasing special for the piece. It makes each sampler truly a personal piece of doodling and / or remembering for later rather than a show piece as they became in later centuries. Dates and names are very rare, as are alphabets.
|Figure 1 Linen sampler by Jane Bostock, England 1598 VA T.190-1960
As I was gathering up materials and inspirations to take some embroidery on vacation with me, I realized that I had a stack of little scraps of paper and printed out of bits of blackwork and cross stitch patterns that I liked enough to want to keep track of, basically exactly what a sampler accomplishes. Most of my patterns are from period sources, but there's a smattering that are modern interpretations, or other pieces that spoke to me as the embroiderer. I felt comfortable in leaving these in, as it kept with the spirit of the original samplers, to be my record, my notes, my examples and my doodle pad. The linen is 36 count evenweave linen, well marinated in my embroidery stash. The vast majority of it has been worked over a single thread, although there are a couple blackwork pieces that were worked over two. All of the thread used is silk, also well marinated in my embroidery stash.
Motifs used:

While no official word has come out of Japan as to when and if a new Mazda RX-7 will be put into production, the chief engineer at Mazda has gone on record stating that he will bring the RX-7 back during his tenure. Many concepts have arisen over the past few years that are definite to be part of the new RX-7 styling, however no official design has been made public. Here are some rumored concepts to be part of the styling:
The new RX-7 is rumored to be equipped with a new 16X 2 rotor rotary engine (1600cc displacement). This engine is based on the side port technology used in the current RX-8 "Renesis" engine. While this engine does improve gas mileage, it only produced a lack luster 235hp, and dyno's of RX-8s are common to only show 180-190 rear wheel horse power. This is a far cry from the original 255 flywheel and 225 to the wheels that the original RX-7 provided. Not to mention the huge aftermarket gains the original RX-7 13B could provide (up to 350-400hp on stock block).
As a rotary fan, I am hoping Mazda will release a rotary engine capable of handling forced induction (whether it be a turbo or supercharger).

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL – Shannon M.
Shooting with Alan was a great experience. Scheduling an appointment was easy to do with his assistant and when I arrived, they helped me carry my bags to the shoot. The shoot wasn't rushed; Alan and I sat down and reviewed the wardrobe changes and throughout the entire shoot, I felt very comfortable. Everything was so relaxed while we shot that I didn't realize how … Continue reading CLIENT TESTIMONIAL – Shannon M.

text: You never know what you're going to get. I figured...cool place, awesome views, cool couple...lots of drone shots, outdoor photo session, not wet all day, normal hopes I have for these couples. Nope. This was a wet one. It was raining all day long. And we found ways to keep it fun and interesting. The venue was cool and had a dark wine cellar. Tough to get to, but Kirsten was a champ. The way the reception was set up was spectacular. They had flowers, candles, backdrops, you name it. It was beautiful. So your mind drifted away from the rain and turned to the story of two doctors, who found each other and decided to be together for the rest of their lives. I was lucky enough to film the groom's sisters wedding a few years back and I love that because you get to feel like family with half the crowd, but in this case, both sides really made me and my crew feel like they loved us. Thats a special thing.

As promised (even though it's very late in the day), I've returned to "blogland" to post my next scripture memory verse. I'm so committed to this challenge, that regardless of what trials life brings my way, I will not stop memorizing God's Word. I keep looking back at 2009 and realize that often times the verses I memorized were literally what got me through the days, weeks, and months sometimes. I know that some of you who began this journey with me in January have not been around for the last few posts. I know that some of you are in a foreign country right now (on mission work). That's okay - you can catch up soon! Some of you may feel like you missed a few opportunities earlier this year so why get back on the wagon now? Don't stop! That's exactly what the enemy wants to see you do! Please don't give in to that ploy! You can start right back up where you left off. Either way - I'll be here twice a month posting my verses. We've got to keep at this friends! God's Word is powerful. Living. Active. Sharper than a double-edged sword. (see also Hebrews 4:12)
OK - that said - this will be a brief post. You can read my previous blog post to get a small understanding of why it needs to be brief right now. I'm sad to report that I continue to feel great discouragement right now over difficult life situations. I'm doing what I can to try to overcome that, but I can't do it on my own. I'm leaning on God's Word and my prayer warrior friends heavily right now. So...my memory verse for this time is something that I hope to memorize quickly and cling to deeply and constantly:
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NIV)
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
I need to know and believe that today! How about you? What verse has God led you to memorize beginning today? If you're struggling with picking a verse, feel free to work on the same one that I'm doing. So, if you're used to this...go ahead and post a comment with the verse you're memorizing including translation. If you're just joining us for the first time...you can read more about it by looking at my first post for the year by clicking HERE. It's NEVER too late to start!
Have a blessed evening friends! You are special to me!

It is terrible that the main hope for an end to decades of sectarian abuse in Stoneyford lies in the final conviction of ringleader, criminal, key Orange figure and proven pederast Mark Harbinson.
With his long overdue gaoling, hopefully Slugger can close its coverage on the multi-faceted campaign he directed across this small village and further afield for close to 20 years – unless some of his proteges are waiting in the wings to pick up the many crimes he masterminded or committed from Stoneyford Orange Hall?
Unfortunately we do have to ask – has the Orange Order saw fit to expel him this time?

July 4, 2012 (JOLIET, Ill.) --A Will County mother is arrested after her 1-year-old son was bound and gagged with tape.
Megan Reed, 23, is facing charges of unlawful restraint and endangering the life or health of a child.
The alleged incident happened in Joliet in September.
Reed told investigators she was watching over several children who were playing with tape.
She was reportedly out-of-state until recently when she came into the police station with a lawyer.
According to police, Reed admitted to taking a photo of the taped up baby and later sending it to the boy's father who contacted police.

Students and staff at Astley Sports College showed off their new look classrooms and brand new Science block when MP Jonathan Reynolds visited to mark the official completion of the £7.2m refurbishment.
The school's new state of the art science block will enable students to have much broader access to practical science than in the past. It was built as part of a package of improvements that also included a new entrance hall, new windows, new furniture and new carpets.
Today (September 19) Stalybridge and Hyde MP Jonathan Reynolds was given a tour of the school, to mark the official completion of the refurbishment. Then he was quizzed by the school's team of Junior and Senior Prefects about his role as MP and as Shadow Minister for Energy and Climate Change.
Commenting on the visit to Astley Sports College, Mr Reynolds said: "Schools are at the heart of our communities and their facilities should inspire and enable the next generation to fulfil their potential - in and out of the classroom.
"I am delighted to have been asked to officially mark the completion of these new facilities at Astley Sports College, which teachers, parents and pupils are rightly proud of.
"The laboratories in the new science block will offer state of the art learning to pupils, that will encourage them to look at Science in an exciting way.
"I believe practical Science brings the subject to life - and I hope these laboratories will ignite a life-long interest in Science for pupils at Astley.
"Indeed, I also hope that these facilities will equip pupils with the skills needed for many of our emerging industries who will be looking to recruit bright and talented young scientists in the future."
Whilst the Science block is the only new building within school, the work that has been completed has been designed to create a positive learning environment around the rest of school will help Astley build on its GCSE exam results.
This year the school recorded the highest percentage of students leaving with five or more A*-C grades, with even better results being forecast for 2015.
Associate Deputy Headteacher Adi Smale said: "Following the opening of half of the refurbishment earlier in the year, students took immense pride in their classroom environment and we can only see this sense of pride developing into every lesson every day. This feels like a very exciting time to be part of Astley's school community."

American Planning Association names Clematis Street one of ten Great Streets in America for 2014. No surprise here! Clematis has a trophy case of awards and AGuyonClematis has been spreading the good news about Clematis for years.
Of note in the article, remaking Clematis as two lanes, two way was a turning point in the street's resurgence:
In the early 1990s the street was converted back to a two-way street, travel lanes were reduced, intersections were raised for pedestrians, mid-block crossings were constructed, and the now iconic palms and live oaks were added
We should remember these lessons of success as we move forward and continue to make downtown West Palm Beach a better place. With the Walkability Study now complete, West Palm Beach has the plan to take Clematis and downtown to the next tier of success. It will take strong city leadership to carry it out.
Here's to Clematis Street and its continued success!

6 cups oats
3/4 cup milled flax seed
1 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup dehydrated carrots pieces* (measure first then grind into a powder in a spice grinder)
1 1/2 cups honey
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp kosher salt
3 tbsp cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla
*Dehydrated Carrots - you can grate and dry your own (how to dehydrate your own) to keep on hand for this recipe or you can purchase dehydrated carrots from Honeyville. I get mine from Honeyville and primarily use them in jar soup recipes for Make Ahead Meals. You can also but Carrot Powder on Amazon.
- Preheat oven to 325* - rack in middle position. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.
- Combine olive oil, honey, allspice, kosher salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and the carrot powder in a bowl. Mix until combined. Let stand at room temperature for 10 mins (this is to let the carrot powder "rehydrate" a little)
- Combine oats, milled flax seed, and chopped walnuts (and any of the optional items) in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Now here is the FUN part! Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. I use my hands to combine - much less messy then using a spoon. I use cooking gloves, less clean up :)
- Once ingredients are combined, spread out onto your parchment lined, rimmed baking sheets. For a loose granola, spread the mixture loosely on the sheets. For a more clumpy granola, press mixture together on the sheets. I use 2 sheets. Bake for 20 minutes. Checking halfway through to stir.
- After removing from the oven, let cool for 20-30 minutes. Break apart and put in airtight containers.
Raisins, Dried Pineapple, Yogurt Covered Raisins, etc.
If you like to add any of these in you granola, you can add a cup of them to the dry ingredients.

Make a Raised Garden Bed Using Old Wood Fence Boards
Make A Raised Garden Bed Out of an Old Wood Fence Panel
To begin this project of making a raised garden bed using unwanted or discarded wood fence panels; gather the old fence panels that are no longer wanted or being used by checking your neighborhood and surrounding area for new fencing going up and inquire with the home owner as to what he plans to do with the old panels. Most will appreciate you hauling them off at no charge to them.
Dismantle and Prepare
Once you've acquired the fencing panels, begin to disassemble the individual pieces. Be sure to remove all nails, screws and hardware from the pieces. Trim any jagged edges. You may dust or wash the boards off, if you so desire.
Take three slats or pieces. Cut 8" off the end of each piece. If your pieces have a pointed or v cut end, cut the 8" pieces from that end. If they are flat, make a v shaped point at one end of each.
Now take one of the slats and cut in equal halves. Lay the two longer slats side by side and position the shorter slats at the ends of the longer slats. Position the longer pieces to meet the shorter pieces at the corners. Take the 8" pieces that you cut earlier and place two of them in opposite corners and one in the center of one of the longer slats with pointed ends up. Secure the pieces together with screws. This is the hardest part of this project. Using a power tool will help you to secure and accomplish this task much faster and with ease.
Flip Over and Place Where Desired
Once you've decided where you want to place your raised garden bed, simply turn it over so the points are now facing down and press or use a hammer to insert the points of the bed into the soil, this secures the bed in place.
You can make several of these raised beds from just one –eight foot fence panel. You can also manipulate the length or width to suit your needs, just add more of the 8" brace pieces where extra support is needed.
So, get out there, breath some fresh air, get back in touch with nature and recycle anything you can in any way you can. Use your imagination, make something new and usable from something old, unwanted or discarded. The sky is the limit.
Raised Bed Gardening
Gardening Tips
Stop weeds from growing. Save and recycle your old newspapers.
Double the sheets of old newspapers, soak them with water and lay on the ground soil between the rows of your garden. The newspaper not only stops the weeds from growing, but it decomposes and is good for the soil.
Watering - Soak your garden and pot plants every every seven to ten days. Don't lightly water everyday as this forces the roots upward and weakens them. This could actually cause your plants to die. Instead, give your plants a good, deep soaking until there's about an inch deep of water left unabsorbed.
- Growing Strawberries in Raised Garden Beds
This page talks about growing strawberries in a garden bed. We start some from seeds which is very hard to do.
- How To Build a 'French Potager Design' Style Vegetab...
Anybody can do it....designing and building your own vegetable plot from scratch. See for yourself what a bit of imagination can do.
Would you be willing to try this project ?
I know that this is an annoying concern, and I hate it when I have to consider it, but I have to say it, even though it annoys me, as much as it might annoy you:
Wood fencing is usually pressure treated to deter decay and insect damage. This means the presence of possibly unwanted chemicals diffusing into your plants, especially edible plants.
I think the scientific evidence says that there is a very small amount of this going on, but I try to avoid ANY amount of this going on, and so I would not include old fence board in my own choices for raised garden beds for vegetables. Ornamental plants, maybe, but not the veggies.
Love this idea! Nice way to recycle and reuse materials - great job!
From old wine barrels to fence panels, I'm a BIG fan of recycling and using items like that for my own projects! Rather discard it, some of these recycled pieces, while sometimes very worn, can actually still make for very functional, and in many ways aesthetically pleasing pieces. Thanks for the great hub!
Great hub. So interesting and informative. I love creative minds.
I enjoy old nostolgic things like this. Clever and beautiful UP 1 and Awesome... Nicely done with cool photos too. RJ
Excellent idea! I love reusing material for other projects. Now I will have to find some old fencing! I am sooo...ready for spring. Thanks for the great hub! Voted up, useful and awesome...
Wow, I didn't know about restricting watering to weekly. Great. That's for vegetable gardening,right? Not flowers.
Great idea to recycle as much as possible. We had built a raised garden bed for my mother many years ago and she loved it. Wish we had more sunlight where we live now. Too many large oak trees and shade to do much gardening, alas!
Great Hub! This is a clever way to use stuff you would normally throw away. Well written and great advice. Voted up, awesome and twittered..
Thank you for all the great advice and ideas i will use that information on my next garden.
Brilliant hub! Recycling is a great way to build in the garden. Thanks for sharing this useful information!
Great hub Becky,
There is a special kind of creativity in recycling and reusing old stuff that otherwise ends up being discarded.
This is a wonderful idea. It's different and its potentials are vast.
Thanks for sharing this creative idea. Opened up my mind. I have used old tyres, but never tried this interesting one.
Great idea to use old fence panels, wouldn't have thought of that myself.x

Quick Reference
Capital of Sri Lanka during the medieval period. Also known as Pulatthi-pura, the city flourished between the 7th to the 14th centuries, and was captured at different times by Tamil and Cola forces from India. It was recaptured by Vijayabāhu I around 1070 who renamed it Vijayarājapura and constructed the temple of the tooth relic to house a tooth believed to belong to the Buddha. The city was looted around 1215 by forces from south India and was largely in decline from then on, with occasional periods of renaissance.

Think Easter, think fluffy yellow Easter chicks!
I must confess that I love getting cards from my kids that they've made. My daughter cottoned on to this a l o n g time ago (she's 14 now) and STILL makes my birthday, Mother's Day and Christmas cards. I can't part with them and have cards safely tucked away that are more than ten years old.
Yellow Moon have got 20% hundreds of Easter arty-crafty bits and pieces and I feel a bit like a kiddy in a sweet shop looking at them all - sooo many things to choose from; let's have a quick look!
Packs of 12 fluffy multi-coloured Easter chicks or just plain yellow if you prefer for £2.39.
One of my favourites, and something I'm finding v e r y hard to resist, is this sequin egg kit - you get five polystyrene eggs with sequins, safe plastic pins and ribbons to decorate it with for £3.99.
Maybe these scratch art egg decorations will take your fancy (pack of 10 for £2.80) or the more traditional colouring-in egg-shaped Easter cards (pack of 10 for £2.39)
There are just so many great things; more than any self-respecting arty-crafty parent could wish for! Cookie cutters, real chocolate mini-eggs, design your own egg cups (wooden and porcelain), wooden Easter baskets.
NOW not only are there lots of scrummy things to choose from but you can also help out a charity, or your school, if they are registered with the Yellow Moon scheme! Next to some items is a % number - this amount of cashback from the item it corresponds to will be given to your choosen school or charity when you buy that item - I think that's fantastic.
Happy Easter crafting - but don't dawdle, the 20% offer ends on MONDAY 29th March!
Thanks to amibees over at HUKD!

"Talking the Talk: Integrating Indigenous Languages into a Head Start Classroom" (Cathis DeWeese-Parkinson, 175-176)
(We chose to read stories that were based closely on what we were learning in class so we could relate the readings to the articles we read for class)
In summary, the chapters that we read in the book were a collection of stories that taught about dealing with social justice and teaching young children. The majority of the stories we read were from Part One, which talked about anti-bias and culturally sensitive teaching and learning. The book shows us how, as early childhood educators, how to be activist for all different types of families and students in our classroom, while providing a nurturing and empathetic environment. The stories provide us an opportunity to rethink early childhood educational practices.
We overall really enjoyed the book and all of the advice and emotional stories it had to offer. We liked the fact that the book gave us difficult situations and then offered solutions to these problems. The book gave us new ideas about ways of thinking. There are so many lesson plans and ideas that the book provided to further our effectiveness in the classroom. It is full of progressive stories that engaged us to want to read more. It allowed us to critically think about subjects and the hidden bias that we may not have thought about if we didn't read the book. The book overall improved our understanding of touchy subjects in education. We think that the book is an excellent teaching guide for new and old teachers.We were not able to finish the book, but we will continue reading the book on our own because it is a great resource.
11/9/15 Group 14
We read "Where Are the Game Girls" by Ann Pelo. This story is about a class with four-year-olds. One of the girls in the class asked, "Why are there Game Boys, but not Game Girls?". The teacher leads the students in a discussion/research about stereotypical girl games and boy games. The class came up with the conclusion that girls and boys can all play the same games and have the same interests. The class even wrote a letter to the Game Boy company voicing their concerns.
We thought it was really cool that the research project started with an observation and actively analyzed the question through their fellow classmates. We talked about different kinds of curriculum's in one of our other education classes. We think this could be a learner-center curriculum. The question sparked a discussion that could be turned into a lesson and a project. The teacher is demonstrating that the students have a say in society and that they shouldn't be afraid to voice their opinion.
Question about immigration from the class
- How can we incorporate different cultures into the class so all students feel comfortable?
- How do you feel about the subject of home visits?
Ecology in the Classroom Cont.
Ecology in the Classroom
A Pedagogy for Ecology
This chapter emphasizes the lack of concern for the environment and asserts, "Any place can become home, which really means that no place is home." Because we see any place as a potential home, we forget to respect the environment that we dwell in. The chapter suggests activities that we can use in the classroom to promote appreciation of the environment such as nature walks, learning name of foliage, respecting sensory aspects of nature, exploring different aspects of nature, learning the history of the land, and telling stories of the land.
Bringing the Earth Home
This chapter describes how our actions model to children how to treat the environment. We have the privilege of not being directly impacted by environmental problems, so we are not aware of the importance of promoting conservation. The chapter emphasizes that teachers should model having a respectful relationship with the environment. Teachers should use these values to brainstorm practices in the classroom such as buying locally grown produce.
Don't Know Much About Natural History
This chapter discusses the ecophobia or the fear of ecological deterioration. If educators want to promote a healthy relationship between children and the environment, we should focus more on children's interactions with the environment and how that impacts their development. Overall the article focuses on the fact that children's relationship with the environment is in jeopardy and needs to be saved.
Questions/topics for experienced teachers
Has technology negatively influenced the children in your classroom's relationship with nature?
What do you think other aspects have stopped children from playing outside?
Talking the Talk & Heather's Moms Got Married
Talking the Talk goes well with this week's discussion and readings. The passage discusses the implication of a Head Start classroom's ability to bring in different languages. We talked about how indigenous speakers are some of the best teachers because they are able to help maintain a culturally sensitive environment. The passage goes on to say that the teachers relied on the migrant parents to recommend other speakers and teachers in order to produce the culturally sensitive language.
Delpit's article about teaching other people's children and the importance of finding instruction that has a connection to the child's cultural life and their personal interests. It is not enough just to place a child in the classroom and expect them to learn the same as their peers. Each child will have their own learning style and will react differently to every lesson. It is the role of the teacher to make sure to incorporate a child's culture and interests so that every child is heard. Often times a culture can be overlooked but if teachers take the time to incorporate the differences in their classrooms the differences can be beneficial.
Heather's Moms Got Married is a little off topic for the week but has equally important lessons. A discussion among second graders can highlight the most important issues of society today. The groups discusses Brown vs. Board of Education and realizes that things would be very different had that case not happened. The class soon realizes that things are fairer in some ways (in the sense that multiracial families are no longer illegal) but that in other ways things are no fairer than before this case. A family with two moms or two dads are still suffering injustices.
This teacher is now faced with a tough decision of how to guide the class through this discussion. Family diversity is most definitely a spontaneous curriculum that this teacher often takes advantage of. Since she teaches in a diverse community and school she is able to explore this topic easier than most, but she still faces difficulties with student interactions. Cowhey shares some of the stories she had heard among her students and how in most cases she didn't have to interfere. The students asked their questions and shared their comments freely and most times were responded to by their own peers. These children recognized the injustice that diverse families face and give hope to the future of interpersonal relations.
Post #7
I Just Want to Read Frog and Toad
This reading discusses that certain types of books that they read in schools are generic. Some of stories were not coherent and full stories, but were just a push to teach and emphasize specific vocabulary words. This discouraged children, because they were not reading stories. Author suggests that children should read real books with real stories.
Tuning into Violence
This reading focused on the violence on tv. This teacher has children watch certain television shows and has children record the amount of aggressive behavior and aggressive statements used. The results showed that there was significantly more violence in the shows. The children are watching the same shows, but the instances of violence increased a lot. The children were aware of the amount of violence and they compared the violence on tv and the violence in the war that was going on during the second time they did the research. We are interested as to if that the class type has any influence- spanish immersion class.
Testing Tots
They did standardized testing on head start. They felt they needed a new way to test the academic abilities of the children. Their research shows that the impact of head start does not last. They don't want the Headstart teachers to make kids memorize the alphabet and different types of information, but to see if they can learn and experience through books and play, because that would be longer lasting. They feel that they should have policy makers to improve the accountability system.
Testing Lang
There was a student named Lang and he was really creative and excelled in class, but was not good at writing. Once standardized testing took place, Lang became anxious and did not score as well as he could. He was not even proficient according to the test, he scored as "basic." The testing didn't compare with his actual abilities.
Think Less Benchmarks
These schools are adopting these benchmark assessments for schools that are not making yearly progress. They found many flaws in the benchmark tests and how they did not accurately reflect the students' abilities. The type of assessment they were using was formative that uses a scientifically research based continuous improvement model that maps diagnostic assessment to state high stakes tests…. expensive assessment program.
From Critique to Possibility
In New Zealand, they created a new approach to assessment- learning stories. Categories: belonging, well-being, exploration, communication and contribution. The exam is through a narrative approach. This assessment is made for each individual with their capabilities in mind. It gives you an idea what the child is developmentally capable of instead of assessing them through comparison.
Reading for next week
pg 123-138
PLC Group 14 10/12/15
Welcoming Kalenna was about a classroom that had a new student named Kalenna, who was from the Marshall islands. The teacher, who was Mexican American, wanted to make Kalenna feel at home just like she had in elementary school. The teacher brought in Kalenna's family to teach the class songs and bring in things that reminded her of home. Holiday Lessons Learned in an Early Childhood Classroom give different principles to having an anti-bias holiday curriculum. Both stories highlighted the importance of basing the curriculum off the children's backgrounds and family-life.
This relates to Shauna McLeod's video posted in response to our PLC in that McLeod discusses how indigenous peoples are misrepresented in the classroom. Oftentimes, indigenous peoples are discussed in a disrespectful and demeaning manner. McLeod worries about the self-esteem of indigenous peoples and recommends that we invite members of the community to share their cultures with our classes in the future, just like the readings suggest.

RIP Railgun: Why the U.S. Navy's Super Weapon Might Be Dead
Despite the swirl of science-fiction excitement surrounding the new weapon, it will likely never see combat.
It can fire a solid metal slug at speeds of up to 4,500 mph, or Mach 6. It can hit targets up to 100 nautical miles away. It's capable of defeating incoming ballistic missiles and liquefying even the most durable enemy armor, the equivalent of a weaponized meteor strike fired from the world's most powerful gun. After more than a decade of research and development and more than $500 million, the Office of Naval Research's much-hyped electromagnetic railgun prototype is finally capable of flexing its futuristic muscles — but despite the swirl of science-fiction excitement surrounding the muscular new cannon, it will likely never see combat, Task & Purpose has learned.
According to interviews with several congressional and military sources, the much-hyped supergun has come under scrutiny from lawmakers and military planners thanks to the Strategic Capabilities Office, the once-classified department created in 2012 to fast-track new tech languishing in the DoD's sprawling bureaucracy, and develop, as then-Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter once put it , "game-changing capabilities to confound potential enemies." With SCO's interest drawn to other weapons systems, ONR may end up without the necessary funding to push the exceedingly complex railgun toward a critical testing milestone — a delay that, with increasing budget pressures and the DoD's shifting strategic priorities, could condemn the decade-long project to an inescapable limbo of research and tinkering far from any ship.
'They're simply not buying it'
Over the last decade, the Pentagon has funneled money into the development of several next-generation, directed-energy weapons through the Navy's Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation (RDT&E) appropriations: The electromagnetic railgun, which has been in development since 2005 in conjunction with defense contractors General Atomics and BAE Systems; the hypervelocity projectile (HVP), a super dense, low-drag tungsten projectile designed as specialized ammo for the railgun; and solid-state lasers, long-time fixations of every service branch and a near-term short-range missile defense for surface vessels. As of a Nov. 30 Congressional Research Service update, electromagnetic railgun research was progressing in line with the ONR roadmap that once envisioned installing the completed weapon on a destroyer like the USS Zumwalt by the mid-2020s.
In recent years, however, SCO has turned its attention to the HVP: once developed explicitly for the railgun, the super-dense shell's compatibility with conventional powder artillery, offering a cheaper and less technically complex alternative to the Pentagon's incomplete supergun for not just the Navy, but the Army to rapidly equip.
"SCO shifted the project's focus to conventional powder guns, facilitating a faster transition of HVP technology to the warfighter," SCO spokesman Chris Sherwood told Task & Purpose. "Our priority continues to be the HVP, which is reflected in the program's budget."
Researchers and policymakers confident on the system's potential now fear that the reallocation of railgun funding at SCO's behest will end up forestalling the successful installation and demonstration of a tactical rig aboard a naval vessel. According to multiple legislative and military sources, insufficient funding for the railgun in the current defense budget will grind any meaningful progress to a halt, condemning efforts to R&D purgatory. As one defense contractor with direct knowledge of the project recently told Task & Purpose, underfunding railgun now would effectively render the decade-long supergun project "dead in the water" by 2019.
"People at SCO don't want to fund the railgun because they're simply not buying it," one senior legislative official with direct knowledge of the project told Task & Purpose. "They are imparting that priority on to Big Navy, which is pulling the money away from ONR."
One last push
In the year since publishing the jaw-dropping footage of a tactical electromagnetic railgun demonstrator at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division's Terminal Range in Virginia in November 2016, ONR has been working diligently alongside defense contractors BAE System and General Atomics to bring the supergun closer to combat readiness. A second video released in July showed the rig firing off multi-shot salvos on Dahlgren's 25-mile Potomac River test range. Through massive, repeated pulses of energy over a short period with minimal cooldown time, the railgun managed to fire 4.8 shells a minute, inching closer to the requirements laid out by Naval Sea Systems Command in a 2013 call for demonstrators that could fire 10 shells a minute and store up to 650 shells.
While ONR's rep-rate demonstrations at Dahlgren represent a major leap forward for the railgun, the system still faces major technical hurdles that make the HVP a relatively inexpensive alternative. Generating the electromagnetic fields necessary to accelerate a shell to tank-liquefying velocities without chemical propellants requires an energy farm or capacitor base significantly larger than what most Navy surface vessels can generate currently. Next-generation " electric warships " like the Zumwalt can channel 78 megawatts from their generators through its power-distribution network, making them ideal for all manner of directed-energy weapons, but other surface vessels would require a major overhaul of their electrical infrastructure for the "pulsed-power architecture" required for multi-shot salvos.

Join Mike Rankin for an in-depth discussion in this video PDF publications, part of InDesign CC 2014: Interactive Documents.
Here's an example of a PDF publication, InDesign magazine. Not surprisingly, it's created almost entirely with InDesign. It's got a fixed layout. It has hyperlinks on the cover that jump to feature articles. So I can click on this to jump to the article. And if I look in the bookmarks, there are also bookmarks to content. It also have navigation buttons to go to the table of contents and to go to the other pages. Sometimes it also includes interactive quizzes and videos. So let's look at some of the strengths and weaknesses of PDF as a digital publishing format.
The first and maybe biggest benefit of PDF is that you can completely control the look of your design. The position of all the elements, the fonts, the size of type, and so on, will be just as you made them in InDesign. This is not the case when you use other formats like EPUB, which give the reader control over fonts, and can also cause text to re-flow. With PDF, you know what your publication will look like to every reader. In terms of workflow, you can't beat the simplicity of PDF. If you have InDesign and you know how to use it, that may be all you need, although in some cases you may need to do some touch-up work in Adobe Acrobat.
Another great strength of PDF is that the software to view PDFs is ubiquitous and it's free. Nearly every computer in the world has the software to view your publication when it's in PDF. And with PDF viewed on a computer, you can also get a good amount of interactivity. You have hyperlinks and cross-references. You can embed media like audio and video, and elements like tables of contents and indexes can also be interactive. And you can create buttons people can use to navigate through the publication and show or hide content.
The down sides of PDF for digital publications, are that the support for interactive features and media, are inconsistent in Mobile apps. Some PDF Readers will play an embedded video and others won't. Some apps fully support buttons, other apps support only some kinds of buttons or none at all. Another down side of PDF is related to it being a fixed layout format. A PDF is not responsive, meaning it won't adapt to a different screen size or orientation. So, sometimes it's necessary for the viewer to zoom in or out or scroll around to see the content.
A standard EPUB, on the other hand, can adapt to the container it's being viewed in. And finally, if your goal is to get your publication into the Apple iBook store, Barnes and Noble, or Amazon. You won't be able to do that with PDF. iBooks and Barnes and Noble use EPUB for their eBooks. And Amazon uses a format called Moby, which is similar to EPUB. But its Amazon's exclusive format. So to sum up, a PDF can be great for a digital publication. When you must have control over the appearance of the layout. And you want to add some interactivity and media to be viewed on computers.
PDF is not as good on mobile devices. Where a lack of responsive design, and full support for interactivity can make your publication seem a lot less impressive than it does on a computer. And a lack of access to online retailers. Like Apple and Amazon give you limited options for where you can sell a PDF publication.

As efficiency program managers face increased pressure to meet ambitious energy savings goals, program providers must deploy more effective strategies that can deliver larger amounts of persistent electricity and gas savings at lower cost to ratepayers. Today, many program managers rely on both rebate and behavioral programs to meet the requirements of their residential and small-to-medium commercial portfolios.
Behavioral programs are attractive because they can deliver a high volume of energy savings by reaching large populations via opt-out marketing campaigns. Rebate programs are attractive because they can deliver deep and persistent savings for any customers who install a particular product or technology. But where one type of program thrives, the other falters. In other words, to meet the increasingly ambitious goals placed on utilities, behavioral programs must begin to deliver greater depth and persistence of savings, while rebate programs must begin to reach and convert more customers.
As a result of the respective limitations of behavioral and rebate programs, efficiency managers must often choose between scale and volume, on the one hand, and depth and persistence, on the other. Unfortunately, energy efficiency markets across the United States and abroad can no longer afford to have to make this choice – the goals are simply too ambitious for a business-as-usual approach.
Essess' Thermal Analysis Program (TAP) is an exciting new addition to the energy efficiency marketplace because the program design enables our utility clients to achieve both the scale of a behavioral program and the depth and persistence of a rebate or technology installation program. As an opt-out marketing program, TAP can reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of customers within a utility service territory; yet thanks to Essess' thermal imaging technology, TAP reaches those customers with highly specific intelligence around structural improvements. This kind of intelligence goes well beyond behavior change measures to motivate building upgrades and deliver deep and persistent savings that can be relied upon for years to come.
TAP's potential to generate deep and persistent savings across large populations of customers makes it a powerful addition to any efficiency portfolio, whether implemented as a standalone program, as a supplement to an existing behavioral program, or as a marketing platform to increase conversions into rebate programs. The utility energy efficiency market will no doubt face challenges in the coming years as savings goals continue to rise and certain lighting programs upon which utilities have heavily relied are phased out. We are committed to being a trusted partner that helps our utility clients face these challenges head on. Working together we will overcome these challenges while delivering superior customer intelligence and satisfaction that helps secure the utility's most important asset: the customer.

It wasn't a gadget, it wasn't high tech, it didn't have any buttons and it wasn't the typical plastic. It was a wooden slide whistle that Jay picked up at a market. He sat and watched and listened for the longest time... and we caught a few pictures in focus.

TRACE aims to develop a state-of-the-art understanding of criminal, social, economic, psychological and political processes that make the trafficking industry what it is with particular emphasis on understanding the individuals involved and the relationship between them. This will be achieved through the use of case studies to assist in focusing the research.
In the context of this project a case study will consist of country examples in order to obtain up-to-date information on a topic, as mandated by the task, through conducting empirical research in one or more of the following countries: United Kingdom, Poland, Cyprus, Sweden, Latvia, Bulgaria, The Netherlands and Romania. In each of these countries TRACE will gain ethical approval to conduct investigations. Partners will also conduct desk-based research in other countries, should they feel the task requires is it.
The areas of human trafficking that the case studies will focus on include:
- trafficking for sexual exploitation
- trafficking for forced labour or services
- trafficking for criminal activities
Case study research will allow the researchers to develop an understanding of complex issues at play and can add strength to what is already known through previous research in other areas. The use of case studies will assist the team in focusing their research on a particular geographical area and type of human trafficking, thus in turn, will allow them to conduct a more in-depth analysis.
In relation to this overall objective, TRACE will:
- Develop a theory-driven understanding of trafficking as a criminal enterprise;
- Acquire a part-theory, part-evidence-based understanding of the specific characteristics of the traffickers: who are they and why do they become traffickers? Coupled with developing an understanding of why some victims become traffickers. Lastly understand the nature of the interaction amongst, traffickers, victims and third parties who facilitate human trafficking, e.g. other criminals or corrupt officials;
- Develop a framework of the factors influencing the trends in trafficking of human beings, e.g. technology, economic and political trends;
- Develop a theory-driven understanding of the policies in place and provide a framework of what further policy actions are available for stakeholders.
